As the spring semester begins, we look forward to continuing the fun times here in Memphis with a few more of our annual events. One such event we will have is our ZIP Idol, in which both students and teachers alike will perform in a talent show to raise money for the Memphis Boys and Girls Club. As always, we look forward to what the Dentones, an all faculty band, have in store for the big event.

for the ZIPS at Texas A&M College of Dentistry in Dallas. We welcomed a wonderful new group of members last spring, who have proven to be leaders in ZIPS, their classes, and in our community. Our summer semester started off with a bang— our annual Fourth of July Barbeque, which served the entire student body and doubled as a philanthropy event. Non-ZIPS members provided dona- tions in order to participate in the barbeque, and the proceeds were donated to the Wounded Warriors Project. Further, ZIPS members traveled
